Outlaw to Salvation: From Prison Cells to God’s Grace (Feat. Denny Winebaugh) - EP 120

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when the son of a contract killer finds himself trapped in a cycle of violence and incarceration? In this powerful episode of the Walking with the Savior podcast, host John Merrill Kirkman sits down with Denny Winebaugh, author of Outlaw to Salvation, to discuss a life transformed by the radical grace of Jesus Christ. Denny shares his raw journey from the streets and prison cells to a life of ministry and total surrender.Denny opens up about his childhood, growing up in the shadow of a father involved in one of the largest police scandals in Los Angeles history. Taught from the age of five that violence was the only solution, Denny spent his youth rebelling against authority and cycling through maximum-security juvenile facilities. It was in one of these dark places that he first encountered the light of Christ through a group of college volunteers, but as Denny explains, finding Jesus and truly following Him are two very different things.The heart of this conversation explores the concept of surrender. Denny describes how a terrifying diagnosis of bladder cancer only a year ago became the ultimate turning point in his faith. Through a vulnerable moment of prayer and anger in the shower, he moved into a state of total peace, realizing that his life was finally out of his own hands and safely in God's. This episode is a must-watch for anyone who feels they are too far gone or that their past is too heavy to carry.Follow Denny at:https://www.instagram.com/outlaw2salvation/Or visit his website:https://www.outlaw2salvation.com/Visit Our Website: https://walkingwiththesavior.com/episodes/Listen to us on your favorite platform:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2414656Donations gladly accepted:https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/WalkingwiththeSavior?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USEmail John: [email protected]:00 Introduction to Denny Weingbaugh and his story3:15 Growing up with a contract killer father6:45 A childhood shaped by violence and survival10:30 Navigating the juvenile justice system14:15 Finding Jesus at sixteen in a maximum security chapel18:45 The difference between finding Christ and following Him22:30 Living as an outlaw while running from God25:15 The cancer diagnosis that changed everything29:45 Learning the true meaning of total surrender33:00 How transformation impacted Denny’s wife and children36:30 Ministry to the lost and those who feel forgotten38:45 Where to find the book Outlaw to SalvationIf you were moved by Denny's testimony, please like this video and share it with a friend who needs hope.
